Pacific Anti-corruption Journalists Call for Regional Commitment to Media Freedom “But journalists need to be able to rely on their own independent reporting, without fear or favour, not just media conferences,” said Mr. Pareti. Source: occrp.org Monday, 03 May 2021 14:25 PM Marking World Press Freedom Day 2021, the Pacific Anti-Corruption Journalists Network (PACJN) has called for a regional Pacific commitment to boost media freedom and help increase reporting on activities at risk of corruption. PACJN coordinator, Mr. Samisoni Pareti, welcomed the focus on media freedom on 3 May and called for a greater focus on how to implement that freedom. “Pacific journalists need stronger Right to Information legislation and whistleblower protection so their daily work can better target the diversion of state and private sector funds into corrupt hands,” said Mr Samisoni.
